Smishing USPS SCAM


Smishing scams are similar to phishing scams but using text messaging instead of emails to acquire your personal information.  We received a text message this morning claiming to be from the USPS  that informed us that our package delivery needed to be rescheduled and click on the link to reschedule.   Clicking on this link will take you “somewhere” not the USPS.  At that location, you will be asked for personal information to “verify” your rescheduling.  THIS IS A SCAM.  I’ve posted this warning as this is the first time I’ve personally seen this scheme.
